FUT Hair Transplant Abroad – Strip Technique
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is a proven strip-harvest technique that delivers dense, natural results for men and women facing advanced hair loss. Patients travel abroad for FUT to access world-class surgeons and microscope-precision graft preparation at a fraction of domestic costs.
Before you travel
At a glance
- Duration
- A FUT procedure typically lasts several hours, the exact time depending on the total number of grafts being transplanted. Your surgeon will give you a personalised estimate during your initial consultation.
- Anaesthesia
- FUT is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable throughout. Your surgeon will explain the anaesthetic protocol and recommend the approach best suited to your case.
- Convalescence
- Recovery from FUT requires a healing period during which the donor incision closes and transplanted follicles take root. You will receive detailed post-operative instructions from your surgeon and should avoid heavy physical exertion for a few days to a few weeks to support optimal healing and graft survival.
- Results
- Follicles transplanted by FUT are taken from the permanent zone and retain their resistance to androgenetic hair loss. Once established, they continue to grow for life, delivering lasting density and a natural appearance. What to expect from FUT results The final outcome of any hair transplant depends on the skill of the surgical team and the precision of graft placement. Hairmed partners with internationally recognised hair-restoration surgeons whose expertise in FUT ensures consistently natural results and high patient satisfaction. Success rates FUT enjoys a strong track record of success, producing natural and enduring outcomes. Results vary according to factors such as surgeon experience, target density and adherence to aftercare protocols.
Le traitement
What this treatment involves
FUT is a surgical hair restoration method in which a narrow strip of scalp is excised from the permanent zone at the back of the head. The strip is then dissected under high-powered microscopes into individual follicular units, which are implanted into thinning or bald areas to restore density and a natural hairline.
How the procedure works
A typical FUT session unfolds in the following steps:
- Administration of local anaesthetic to both donor and recipient zones
- Excision of a thin strip of hair-bearing scalp from the occipital region
- Microscopic dissection of the strip into individual follicular-unit grafts
- Precise placement of grafts into pre-made incisions in the thinning areas
- Post-procedure review and detailed aftercare guidance
Why FUT offers unique benefits
Because the donor strip is divided under stereoscopic magnification, every follicle can be inspected and preserved intact. Transection rates drop dramatically compared to blind extraction methods. This microscope-assisted dissection makes FUT especially suitable for curly and Afro-textured hair, which can be difficult to extract cleanly by other means. Every follicular unit present in the strip is harvested and available for transplantation, maximising graft yield and survival.
Microscopic precision sets FUT apart
Under magnification, technicians can see exactly where each follicle lies within the tissue. This direct visualisation eliminates guesswork, protects the integrity of every graft, and ensures that 100 per cent of available follicles are recovered from the donor strip. When surgical protocols are followed, survival rates for FUT grafts remain excellent across all hair types.
Surgeon-led care throughout
FUT is an inherently surgical procedure. The strip excision, the closure of the donor wound and the design of the recipient area all require the hand and judgement of an experienced hair-transplant surgeon. Hairmed works exclusively with internationally recognised specialists who perform FUT themselves, ensuring that every stage of your procedure is overseen by a qualified physician.
